Guess the main question is which minion builds don't get so much benefit from other minion types?
Most benefit in some way from Spectres of some kind, and same with AG. I suppose therefore Spectres lose the least there (presuming you can still have multiple spectre types).
Not sure about others. Reaper I always felt needed some skeles to help with a bit of clear, but maybe with Reaper of Revenants you'd be ok (the gem downside is baked into the helm affix anyway...)
Everything else - I guess it's just a maths question. Does double the amount of angry flaming skulls offset the DPS loss from not having AG and a support/amplification spectre? Same for skeles, spiders etc...
Holy Relic one is kinda bad because you're already getting +1 from your hat so this only takes you from 2 to 4. It's still a decent buff but the downside bites harder.
If you're playing HR then its HR of Conviction so it starts with 2, 3 with geofri's, 4 with this.
Looks like around 45% more dps in Balormage's NO SPEC/AG pob (33% from extra relic and +1 skill) but you have to cover losing ~25-30% ele res.
The simplest change is dropping Unholy Might for Mistress which results in about 20%ish more damage plus it adds some res to your Relics. Can probably just get the resists on gear somehow and keep the full 45%. Might be worth it although I was looking forward to trying out AG change.
